Brunello Crossing

Montalcino 9-10 febbraio 2019

Brunello Crossing

A territory that is magical, variable, of many forms, which, from the different sides of the Montalcino hill, slowly rolls into the enchanting Val d’Orcia to the foot of Amiata mountain on one side while on the other it slopes down into the plains that lead to the sea.

Harmonious curves and wispy elevations that alternate from thick forest to olive groves, from vineyards to fields of wheat. Little parcels of land marked by isolated country homes, majestic castles, little country churches surrounded by their own little hamlets. This is the territory of Brunello Crossing which the medieval town of Montalcino looks over. Whoever chooses to run with us will enjoy all this and more including the outstanding products that come from this territory which make it an absolute star the world over.

For registered participants of Brunello Crossing, their family and friends only, there will be a chance to tour the cellars of local wineries and taste Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino paired with best in local food. During these tours, the production process – both agricultural and winemaking – that leads to the final product will be explained, and there will be a tour of the vinification and ageing cellars in addition to a tasting of the vintages that the individual wineries choose to present.

The following tours are available:
